The Open

The crowd tomorrow could play a factor. I imagine they’ll want Tommy Fleetwood to record a home victory rather than have an international winner like Lowry.

Could be 1995 Leinster hurling final type conditions

Usually suits the good stickmen

Tinker boy must have porter taken.

Lovely little dig from gmac on Twitter at Rory claiming Lowry has the course record

Post up a screenshot please.

Edit: of the tweet.

Don’t ever recall an inter-county hurler coming out of Clara (Offaly).

LOYALIST NEWBUILDINGS STANDS WITH SOLDIER F, OUR VETERANS ARE HEROES NOT CRIMINALS

Different gravy up here

Not on it. They popped it up on the BBC coverage. Someone else might oblige. You’re banned by gmac are you?

Imagine being able to tell your grand childeren that you once trolled a major winner on twitter for being a fat fucker and nearly lost your job because of it.
The significance of tomorrow is huge for you.

Golf is the new hurling in Offaly

Some atmosphere I’d say bro?

Allan Clancy has this sown up

I actually lost my job because of it and I hit rock bottom, pal. My personal journey and recovery since then is reminiscent of Tiger Woods’ one.

The only threats to Lowry imo (other than himself obviously or a lunatic fan like @Bandage screaming at him during his backswing) are Koepka and Fleetwood. Two superb ball strikers who would relish harsh conditions. Koepka left a half dozen birdies out there with poor putting, something he could put right tomorrow.

It would be a National tragedy if Lowry were to lose.

A very good pal of mine tweeted a nasty jibe at Lowry before. I think Lowry was in the gym getting fit at the time and he posted a picture of the scales showing (for e.g.) 18st. My pal tweeted him back saying your not allowed rest your belly on the sink when your weighing yourself :joy::joy: was a beauty in fairness.

Your life partner won’t like that admission.

You could find a niche as a motivational speaker. You should get onto Bressie to see if he’ll give you a spot on his roadshow.

If all goes well you could even end up collaborating with Paul McGinley on the corporate motivational speaking circuit.

Surely that’s only a tall tale. Surely ta fuck

:rollseyes: Get a grip. It wasn’t a national tragedy last time was it?
